some quotes for randomness

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. -JRR Tolkien

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. -Winston Churchill

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. -Albert Einstein

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. -Oscar Wilde

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. -George Orwell

Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back. - Gladiator

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. -J.K Galbraith

Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. -John Keynes

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget. -Thomas Szasz





Some favourites, especially for their comedic value

If I'd wanted to hear from an arsehole, I would have farted. -B. Connolly

Death solves all problems, no man no problem. -Stalin

I definitely want Brooklyn to be Christened though I don't know into which religion. -David Beckham, apparently not very smart





Been reading quite a bit recently, and pretty much undisturbed. With all the guys enlisting (and coming out already), basically been staying home quite a bit these few days. Reading Twilight. The first novel in thsi series is amazingly addictive, though the author seems to want to emphasise on how hot Edward is. Ok, he's hot, get over it, don't repeat the same thing 20 times every chapter (ain't even exaggerating). Been planning to catch the movie too once Yubin is back from Tasmania, but the horrific reviews is giving me second thoughts. Weiliang, Dongkai, and online reviews all rate it as a pathetically bad chick flick, with poor special effects. Will judge for myself soon enough. And waiting to catch The Day The Earth Stood Still too, has high hopes for that one.

Don't know if I will get the other 3 novels in the Twilight series, but the plot seems to deteriorate with each novel. So, in the next few novels, Bella is supposedly almost killed by Victoria, Jacob turns out to be a werewolf, Edward tries to commit suicide thinking Bella is dead but is stopped, Bella loves both Jacob and Edward but decides she loves Edward more.. and then begs Edward to have sex with her so that they can have a child, Bella turns into a vampire herself and Jacob falls in love with Bella's child, and they all live happily ever after. Urm. Okay. Sorry for spoiling it oops, but the plot is so *insert a word of your choice* I couldn't resist commenting.

Christmas coming soon, can't wait for it to get here, for more reasons than one. ;) Off to bed, it's nearly 3!

some dogs are better than humans

pjc movie marathon 2008

Went for it. Was pretty good. Watched Awake, Hansel and Gretel, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Kung Fu Panda, TMNT. Liked all of them.

Anyway this year's movie marathon was even better than last year's. They had a mini buffet and loads of different drinks. There was an X-box and PS-2 setup for people who got bored of watching movies to play. Atmosphere was pretty good.

Need to start correcting my body clock soon.

Yubin and I had a little adventure in the kitchen today.

End product, looks good and tastes good. Not bad for a first-timer like me! Haha. And I am the cake mixture saviour. Hahaha!

in compliance

Lingxin asked me to do this 10 weird things about myself thing. Haha ok, I shall comply. 10 weird things about myself.

1) I hold my breath whenever I step into a lift and I hold it all the way until I reach the destination floor. Bet you didn't know that. And the record, for your information, is holding my breath for about 60 floors. More than 2 minutes.

2) I like to make funny faces at myself in the mirror at home before I bathe.

3) I am a 19 year old guy, and I have 6 soft toys on my bed.

4) I don't like all insects, dead or alive, and I don't even dare to touch pictures of insects in books.

5) I like to do things at nice numbers around the clock, such as 3.15, 3.30, etc; I don't like starting on tasks at times like 3.20, etc.

6) The first thing I notice about a girl is her eyes, and the first thing I notice about a guy is how many pimples he has.

7) I like to loop a nice song for an entire night, and I will get sick of it and won't listen to it for the next 2 weeks.

8) I like to read newspapers by putting them down on the floor and lying horizontally across my bed and looking down.

9) I like to see what people are doing on the bus by looking at their reflections, but I never ever do look at them.

10) I like to sleep face down on my pillow. (Don't ask me how I breathe)

i am turning vegetarian

My mum, sis, Yubin and I had dinner at New York New York today. Yubin and I shared this big meat platter for 2 (supposedly for 2) but it came with so much meat. Lamb chops, roasted chicken, fried chicken, potato wedges, salad, baked beans, corn, whatever. So much meat. Oh my god. The plate was huge, almost took up the whole 4-seater table. For $36.90 for the platter, we couldn't finish it at all and my mum and sis had to help finish it. And I realise I really hate lamb chops. Should have ordered the seafood platter maybe. Grilled prawns, crabs, dory fish sound so much better.

So bloated. See? SQ is not a big eater. (: So much meat today, I am turning vegetarian tomorrow! (only for tomorrow)

Time to study Literature. 11 am tomorrow and it's over. Goodbye to A levels, in advance.
